THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING US ON OUR JOURNEY

To our visitors, exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, association and media partners, the Government of South Australia, Adelaide Convention Bureau and the Adelaide Convention Centre, we thank you for your ongoing support. AES 2018 has now wrapped up and we are extremely pleased with the results and overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received so far. The ability to do successful business face-to-face has always, and will continue to be our prime focus. The relocation to Adelaide allowed exactly this; successful business, thought provoking conversations and compelling content, all in the most progressive Australian State that is embracing renewable energy and energy storage. Thank you for following us to Adelaide.

For Adelaide, the 2018 event saw the largest space occupied, the biggest display of exhibitors and brands on offer, the largest contingent of international exhibitors – it was a record breaking Adelaide event. It was also the biggest event in terms of visitor attendance; once again, we thank you for your support.

Your support ensures that this event remains the most important and informative energy storage event in Australia.

Speaker Interviews

Businessman Sanjeev Gupta — who British media call the ‘man of steel’ because of his track record of reviving steel and aluminium assets — has cemented his place as a champion of renewables in Australia following recent investments in the energy sector.

JON NORMAN, PRESIDENT & COO, HYDROSTOR INC.

Jon Norman is President & COO of Hydrostor, who are leading the sector in Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), with the world’s first adiabatic CAES facility operating in Toronto, and a new CAES demonstration project at the Terramin Australia Angas Zinc Mine in South Australia.

While Australia’s energy industry has become comfortable with microgrid technologies and many states are already experiencing benefits, it’s the establishment of viable business cases for different applications that is the main barrier to their uptake. We spoke with Greg Allen, Executive General Manager, Carnegie Clean Energy, and discussed using battery storage in microgrid projects, industry challenges and the integration of renewables.
